After meeting with Bill, Bob and Mary were introduced to a young man named Britt Bentley (britt.bentley@firstredeemer.org – 678-776-2383). He works in the Media Department of First Redeemer Church. He received a heart transplant 8 years ago. We had a lengthy discussion with him about his transplant, which included a lot of new information for us. He basically told us the “nitty-gritty” of a heart transplant and the post-transplant experience, which the medical team, by their own admission, could never fully describe. A person would have to live this experience to truly describe it. For Bob and Mary, it was very humbling to know what our Jeffrey would have lived through, and with, if he had, indeed, received a transplanted heart. There are two sides to the story and neither side is easy. Britt told us he would do whatever he could to help; we just had to ask. He has a degree in Communications, with an emphasis in Public Speaking
